Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
National Geographic refers to this snake as, “The largest venomous snake in North America. Some reach 8 feet in length and weigh up to 10 pounds.” Unless threatened, the eastern diamondback rattlesnake will not attack humans –
additionally, bites are caused when someone taunts or attempts to capture the snake. Oh but they do give off one final warning before they strike – it violently shakes its tail. Yeah, that tail isn’t just for show.
